If you're worried about the price I would just wait a bit. If they're going to keep those start collecting bundles going I'm sure they'll be doing a dwarf one soon enough. Looks like they all have something like 1 big thing and 2 different units so the dragon rider fella would probably be in there. Just based on the lizardman deal the whole set was $15 cheaper than the carnosaur alone.

I'm hoping for a "Start Collecting! Dwarfs" box as well. That's going to be the biggest thing keeping me from picking these up as they release, as our local shop offers a pretty decent discount off of GW stuff.

Like the one they did for Beastmen?

Oh, wait...

But then I'd be stuck with Dwarves that I don't want... and Dwarves are the Fantasy army that I have always liked the very least.

Though the notion of bundles that actually save money is a nice one, and I hope GW keeps up that trend.

When I bought my first Citadel miniatures, they were manufactured for any fantasy game you were playing. Why does it bother people so much nowadays?

Exalt.

Possible reason: the game segregation phenomenon, which GW has been pretty successful in normalizing.

Giant hemispherical shoulders on something that shouldn't really have them, probably designed to match a superficial and - to be frank - juvenile-oriented MotU-style interpretation of what 'muscles' and 'strength' should be, rather than how real-life quadrupeds (as strong as you like) are constructed, resulting in an impression of (1980's) Arnold Schwarzenegger cosplaying in a lizard costume, scuttling around on his hands and knees?

For one thing.

That makes me want to buy them more.

Or it could be done with using the Volcanic Base Tutorial from the Warhammer TV advent calendar.

That's great! I didn't watch that one. Thanks for the enlightenment!

The Price.

I think that one Forgefather fella looks like he's holding a key, and his axe has a key cut-out? Kind of an interesting call-back to College of Fire (pre ET) with the key/Aqshy symbolism.

$100 for the salamander kit. Calling it now.

All these mono-pose complaints, you must be new to dwarfs. We do not traditionally have a whole lot of pose options, even in the new kits.

It's not just the fact they are monopose.... it's that the 1 pose they are in is bad.... and they are expensive. I liked LotR monopose models.... but the poses were good... and they were cheap.

Nope, third edition with metals, the pose looks like the sculptor intended for them to be reaching for something off the high shelf and someone glued weapons on.

Man, that saddle is enormous. No idea why they feel the need to ruin the lines of the already massive Salamander by chucking a giant metal throne on it.

is the event pack for the forthcoming "Trials of the Everchosen".

Has some interesting rules and scenarios.

That's a pretty fitting description.

Few people around the place have received the following wound counters/markers free with their latest AoS orders.

I don't think it's specific to the product you buy. I just got some spray paints.

Free spray paint?! Now that's a hell of a deal with the spray prices these days. Regardless, Spray paint or wound tokens are far better than collectable pins or wrist bands.

My only issue is my last few pre-orders (well over $100 - the LE books) never came with any free goodies :(

I believe he's saying he got the counters/markers when he ordered spray paint, not necessarily an Age of Sigmar product.

Man that (saddle / howdah?) looks awkward...!

...that's why it's getting chucked for something else!

I like the lizard, the dwarf, even the saddle design itself... but it does look too... I dunno, small? Not well supported? Not sure how to describe that.

Salamander is £65/$110 (pics have leaked)

Without it, he'd have to be doing the splits in order to ride Would that look better?

Almost looks like the saddle should be removed and the arcs on the front and back would fit giant stone wheels to make a fantasy dwarf motorcycle , and leave you with a good looking salamander too.

^^

So the Magmadroth kit actually gives you two models.
